Hi all
Hopefully this is the right section.
I'm rebuilding my 1995 300tdi 110 as RoW spec, so new Marsland RoW spec chassis, 300tdi engine, Disco auto box, Late TD5 style dash, Tdci doors and axles... Now here comes the issue and perhaps a quick confirmation needed of whether I'm going the right direction 
Axle wise then I've picked up a pair of 110 tdci axles (for reasons explained later) the rear I have no issues with fitting, simple swap over and post 2002 TD5 110 rear prop - done 
The front however, I notice theres a difference in part numbers for the panhard rod... before I bought the Tdci axles I bought an adjustable one for my 300tdi along with superpro bushes, so a bit of money tied up in it - will this work with the later axle? if not will a later one work with my original chassis bracket or if not where are the differences and what parts am I likely to need to sort it ?
So back to the reasoning, basically I wanted to fit Ashcroft ATBs or similar and buying a set of tdci axles and Ashcroft ATBs, then selling my original 300tdi axles works out quite a bit cheaper than buying either Detroit or quaife ATBs for the 300tdi axles (due to the rear Salisbury) my only concern is strength of the new axles compared to the Salisbury rear I'm removing and whether I'll regret the move. I'm hoping with the Ashcroft ATB centre and autobox delivering smoothed out power delivery I should be ok but slightly worried about ring/pinion strength on the p38 style rear diff?
Also as an aside should all 110s have had vented front discs in the tdci era of vehicles? apparently these axles both came from a 110 but the front has solid discs (although discs and calipers are new so may just have been fitted in place of vented discs) if so would the recomendation be to swap back to vented front discs before I fit the axle? or stick with the solid discs for now?
Cheers all
Ben
